摘要
Maternal decisions, such as where to build a nest or where to lay your eggs, are critical for the offspring's fitness and survival in any species. A new study in Drosophila now reveals that distinct classes of mechanosensory receptors and neurons fine tune the physical assessment of an oviposition site and determine where the female fly lays her eggs.
